🧪🧠 The first isogenic, five-cell #OrganOnChip model of the human neurovascular unit is now here!

Brain-Chip R1 brings together neurons, astrocytes, microglia, pericytes, and BMECs in a dynamic, perfused system that captures key features of the BBB and NVU—built for more predictive CNS research.

New on bioRxiv! 🚨
“Pericyte and Endothelial Primary Cilia and Centrioles have Disparate Organization Across the Brain Microvasculature”
This project studying #microvascular cells took an unexpected turn when we discovered that #pericytes have primary #cilia!

Finally it’s here! 🌟⬇️

I’m sooo excited to share our latest article led by Steve Hill and Isabel Bravo-Ferrer
1- How does the vasculature communicate with astrocytes?
2- Is this communication dependent to what happens in the body.
3- Is it relevant to human diseases?

Decoding Leaky-BBB 🧠 together with @astrocytenet.bsky.social and @dibenedetto-lab.bsky.social 🤩.
Women suffer from severe depression twice as often - but why this is so is not yet known. A possible cause could lie in the blood-brain barrier - a barrier in the brain. If it becomes "leaky", diseases can occur.

Link between Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier and Depression
TU Graz and the University of Regensburg are investigating the interaction of different cell types at the border between blood vessels and the brain. A particular focus is on sex-specific differences.

Big week for astrocyte research: 3 new Science papers link astrocytes to behavior. We're excited to add to the momentum with our new PNAS paper: a theory, grounded in biology, proposing astrocytes as key players in memory storage and recall. w/ JJ Slotine and @krotov.bsky.social
